Hi friends, welcome back! July was a scorcher so I’m happy to be another month closer to fall. We had a pretty low-key month based off the lack of pictures from the past 31 days. We had a seafood dinner party with our friends, went out for brunch, and ended the month with a Chinatown…

Hi friends, welcome back! I’m a week late with my What’s Up because Jon and I spent last week relaxing in Nantucket. We ate some delicious food including our daily ice cream, celebrated Jon’s birthday, hung at the beach, enjoyed the pleasant weather, and didn’t want to leave. The rest of the month was spent…

Hi friends, welcome back! May seemed to fly by even though we weren't very busy. Our weekends were spent hanging with our friends, eating lots of pizza, visiting the Whitney museum, we celebrated our anniversary, and we had visits from both of Jon's sisters and their significant others. We don't get many visitors so we…

Hi friends, welcome back! March was a good month for Jon and I. We saw some Broadway shows, visited a museum, botanical garden, watched a lot of March Madness, and had a somewhat spontaneous trip to Miami. Jon had to go down for work so we flew down a day early to hang at Miami…

Hi friends, welcome back! Compared to January, February seemed to fly by. We had some brunches, participated in a delicious food tour, enjoyed the Super Bowl, and got a little bit of snow. Jon and I also spent a day exploring some potential neighborhoods in Connecticut. We just re-signed our lease through May 2025 so…

January 31, 2024Categories Food, New York, Travel38 Comments on What’s Up: January 2024

Hi friends, welcome back! January is always my least favorite month. The post-Christmas blues paired with the cold, gloomy weather makes for a long thirty-one days. We were major homebodies and only went out to eat once! Last year was our busiest year in the books, so we’ve enjoyed having a slow start to the…
